ACTVAC XC Handicap : Bluetts

Second race in the King of the Mountain series so must be a hilly course. The Frylink almost all down, almost all up on the return. The Thomas more of the same with more undulations in the middle. Highlight for my day, a puddle on track at after 1km, a competitor on his return saw I was going to run through the puddle and so as not to get splashed with muddy water stepped backwards to wait and fell over:-) Results: Frylink 3.5km Gary 75.1% ; SB 89.9% Thomas 7.2km Minnie 71.9% ; Janene 69.1% ; Maria 84.7% ; Charlie 66.6% ; Mick 64.2% ; Pete 50.1% Of me: 12:29, 3 seconds faster as an M50 than as an M45

Long Intervals

Of me: Early set. Same set as last 2 weeks, quicker again. 2000m (631), 1600m (5:13), 1200m (3:57)[first 4 efforts at 10km pace], 800m (2:30), 400m (69)...all with 200m recovery. Running technique much better. Form much better...not sure how much the form is due to iron jab or 5 weeks of consistent training and some great sessions. Of the others: I paced 5200m at exactly 4mins/km. Roget and Tori did what they could at that pace. Maria did 3 x 1000m. Janene on her own did similar to other weeks in the 4:10-4:15 range. Heidze did 1600m, 1200m, 800m, 400m and looking very comfortable in doing so. Kathy some strides. Helen this morning 4 x 7 minutes.
